Sadie Bartell, 19, revealed her mom had an ulcer that, according to Bartell’s Twitter note, “bled out that led to lack of oxygen to the brain which resulted in brain damage.” Bartell’s mom has now been in a coma for three years. Bartell’s father stopped working to care for his wife full-time, and Bartell and her brothers are now the financial providers for the family.

After Bartell saw Swift’s donation, she was overjoyed, writing that Swift “just gave my family exactly what we need to carry on.”

"Everyone who knows me knows that Taylor Swift is my whole entire life. She has been there for me more than anyone," Bartell wrote in a Facebook post. "I really, truly, would not be who I am without her. Today she read my family’s story online and out of the goodness of her heart donated to us. She shows up every time I need her. She always has and she always will. I wish that I could express how much it means to me that ANYONE has helped my family over the years, let alone Taylor.

It’s very cool of Swift to financial support the lives of her fans, and we’re sending all the love and light to Bartell and her family.
